Indeed, he will repay [according to] a human being's deeds, and according to a man's way he will let [it] happen [to] him.

“Who put God in charge over the earth?
And who has laid on Him the whole world?

Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.

My Father! let Job be tried -- unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity,

Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you.

He doesn't let the wicked live; he grants justice to the afflicted.

But if they be laid in prison and chains, or bound with the bonds of poverty:

For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.

Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light is over the skirts of the earth.

Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

A bright light comes out of the north; God's glory is greatly to be feared.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

So that light may take hold of the corners of the earth
And shake the wickedness out of it?

And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

so you can lead it back to its border?
Are you familiar with the paths to its home?

By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?

Who gives in the evening the meat he is searching for, when his young ones are crying to God; when the young lions with loud noise go wandering after their food?

They are bent down, they give birth to their young, they let loose the fruit of their body.

Who has let the ass of the fields go free? or made loose the bands of the loud-voiced beast?

Is it through you that he is shaking like a locust, in the pride of his loud-sounding breath?

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

Lo! I am of no account, what shall I reply to thee? My hand, have I laid on my mouth:

Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low.

Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld.

He, is the beginning of the ways of GOD, Let his maker, present him his sword:

Can you draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?

See, his expectation is wrong, he is laid low even at the sight of it.

By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

O hearken thou unto me also, and let me speak: answer me unto the thing that I will ask thee.

Therefore take seven oxen and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, offer up also for yourselves a burnt offering: and let my servant Job pray for you. Him will I accept, and not deal with you after your foolishness: in that ye have not spoken the thing which is right, like as my servant Job hath done."

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

Let me tell of a decree, - Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:

Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth:

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer!

Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah.)

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Let the voice of my cry come to you, my King and my God; for to you will I make my prayer.

Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.

The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, - because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;

so that I may tell of all your praises. In the gates of the daughter of Zion let me rejoice in your salvation.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

Up! O Lord; let your hand be lifted: give thought to the poor.

Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

Consider [and] answer me, O Yahweh my God. Give light to my eyes lest I sleep [the sleep of] death,

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

The lot is fallen unto me in fair ground; yea I have a goodly heritage.

For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.

You lead me in the path of life; I experience absolute joy in your presence; you always give me sheer delight.

Let my cause come to your ears, O Lord, give attention to my cry; give ear to my prayer which goes not out from false lips.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

Let thy lovingkindness be distinguished, thou Saviour of such as seek refuge from them who lift themselves up against thy right hand.

From the face of the unjust that laid me waste, enemies against the soul will go round about against me.

In his anger smoke poured out of his nostrils, and consuming fire from his mouth; coals were lit from it.

Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and fire.

Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

The precepts of the Lord are right,
making the heart glad;
the command of the Lord is radiant,
making the eyes light up.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Let us shout for joy at your victory
and lift the banner in the name of our God.
May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation?

My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up.

He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.

Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied; They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him: Let your heart live for ever.

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

O let thy loving-kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

for He laid its foundation on the seas
and established it on the rivers.

O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
